LB Vontaze Burfict

[Piracy 23]

Per NFL Draft Update on twitter....he has been reportedly having trouble being able to complete 15 bench press reps.

How much weight? 225?

I would assume so. I think that two plates is the standard used at the combine.

[Piracy 23]

Yea the tweet didn't say but I would assume that's the norm.

Different sport but Kevin Durant couldn't put up 135lb. at the combine nor bench his body weight.

Burfict has a lot more to prove to NFL scouts, owners, and franchises than his strength.

Yea well that's basketball and this is a linebacker. I don't think it's true but if it is he will drop like crazy.

That's incredible. I didn't know that. I'm 5'10" 215lbs and could put up 330 during a cycle peak. Granted that is with additional chemical assistance, but still.

You have much shorter arms than Kevin, most basketball players can't benchpress much and don't want to. I'm 6'3 220 and and focus on lean muscle much like a basketball player does. I would rather have quickness and finesse than brute force. It looks better too

he may be dropping like crazy, but i think if he falls to the late 2nd we need to make a move up for him.. like a 2nd and 6th next year.. a draft of

Janoris Jenkins

Vinny Curry

Vontaze Burfict

= a very good improvement on D

doubt that will happen though

trade away two draft picks for an ILB? Really?

Linebackers don't necessarily need true arm strength to succeed. The legs, back and spine are what drives. This won't affect as much as his attitude will.

[SOJA]

not that bench press is the end all be all, but that's probably a sign of a poor work ethic. DO NOT WANT this guy
